Ni-based catalysts with a Ni mass fraction of 17%are prepared on USY,ZSM-5,SBA-15,Al2O3 and SiO2 carriers,respectively through the equal volume impregnation method.Their catalytic performance is evaluated through the hydrogenation of 1,4-butynediol(BYD)to 1,4-butanediol(BDO).The catalysts are characterized by means of XRD,N2 adsorption-desorption,H2-TPR and NH3-TPD.The results indicates that the conversion of BYD can exceed 99%over the catalysts with different carriers,but the selectivity of BDO varies greatly according to different carries.The selectivity of BDO reaches 83.1%,that of 1,4-butenediol is 16.6%,and that of 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran is very low when Ni/SBA-15 catalyst is served,the reaction has performed for 5 h while other conditions remain the same.This can be attributed to Ni/SBA-15's large specific surface area,high average pore size,and weak acidity as well as good dispersion of nickel.Ni/SBA-15 is screened for one-step hydrogenation of BYD to prepare BDO under low temperature and low pressure conditions.
